What does Guipure & Silk Ylang Vanille smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a close third. It leans toward leisure, evening and daily wear. About half of voters call it feminine, while some see it as classic and others as modern.

The top notes pair coconut and plum for a fruity, sweet start. In the heart, ylang-ylang adds a creamy floral softness while cedar keeps a dry edge in the background. Musk and vanilla close it out on a powdery, gourmand sweetness, with synthetic and oriental accords shaping the overall character. Georges Rech Paris est une Fête and Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
